Someone just stole my bike! (Ellerslie, 19 April)

**Maverick** · 19th April 2008, 15:36

10 mins ago from outside my front door in Ellerslie!
Heard an engine and thought "that sounds like my SV"
Ran outside and it was gone!
I had the keys inside with me, just rang the cops, but I'm not holding my breath.

EDIT:
MVRIK, 2003 Silver SV1000S
Has Stainless Yoshi twin pipes and Oxford heated grips.
The control box for the heated grips came off a while back and is stuck to the dash with a mountain of silver Duct Tape.
Has a worn out bridgestone BT021 on the front and a reasonably new Metzler M3 on the back.
